It's almost like one of those cheesy billboards "Pornography! Now that I've got your attention..."
The last of the 'early' Cure albums as the band was torn apart by in-fighting, drug use, and Smith working to cope with his depression. From this point on, the band would move away from their gothy droney alt-rock sound for more of a gothy pop influence.
This album is all bass and drum grooves with synth and minimal guitars layered over the top, creating music-beds for Smith's desolate lyrics.
The final (title) track is an interesting sound collage.
